RECONVERSION PRO G RAM AD VAN C E D
Agreement of the United Mine Workers and
coal mine operators on a year’s contract gives
the United States labor peace in the major in
dustries for the first time in many months.
Now, reconversion, which has been terribly
slow and exasperating, should be speeded up
even though prices may be slightly higher. Coal
prices will be increased and they will be re
flected in the price o f steel, which is used in
the manufacture of so many articles that we use
daily. However, complete reconversion with
high prices is better than no reconversion at
all.
EUROPEAN A C TIO N ENCO URAG ING
The decision of at least 17 nations to parti
cipate in the Marshall European recovery plan
is encouraging to the western allies.
A few Russian satellites have or will refuse
to participate because they probably feel that
their bread is buttered on the Russian side.
In the last two conflicts the United States
has been fighting and then feeding its enemies.
It is apparently more economical to feed them
first, because if we convince them of our sin
cerity we may not have to fight them.
Certainly our best way to fight the spread of
communism is by helping to keep the world
prosperous, because communism spreads fastest
where there is hunger and chaos and dissatis
faction with the governmental and economic
conditions.

Business Tells a Story
Tim e was when it was fashionable
for everyone to talk about big busi
ness and count over the gross and
net sins of corporations. Of course,
there were mighty good stories even
then about our steadily rising stand
ards of living. But the busybodies
didn't bother with those success
stories, big or little.
I have said that America is now
beginning to assume her task in pub
lic relations, that of selling her ways
and her freedoms and her institu
tions to people everywhere. I should
like to say that some of our groups
and institutions have special respon
sibilities in this job. I think that
labor does, as well as business. The
task is important to agriculture, to
tradesmen, to education, to the
professions, and to civic minded
folks in every walk. Certainly, la
bor and industry are each so im
portant in our economic system,
that they must be interested in re
awakening the people to an appre
ciation of America.
A Report to Workera
I should like to tell you about a
company that is doing its part, there
by shouldering its responsibility for
this kind of public re-education.
Somebody sent me a copy of a re
port this company makes to its
employees.
The report answers
questions employees want to know.
The answers are frank, fair, and
simply stated. There is no doubt
the report has made its readers bet
ter informed Americans. It did so
to me.
It takes $7,507 worth of capital to
give a person a job in this company.
Naturally, there would be no Jobs
for their 3,951 people if it were not
for this $29.660,626. Shareholders
who put up this money out of what
they earn and save, hope to get "a
fair rental” for their money. These
folks, the report tells us, are capi
talists— "and so are you!” Because
we own our possessions, we are
"capitalists” and this is a "capital
ist” country.
Why Make a Profit?
"W e have a 'capitalist' industry
In the United States because millions
. . . use part of their 'capital' to
own and operate the most produc
tive farms, stores, mines, and fac
tories on this earth. And that is the
reason why we, as a people, have
the highest standard of living of any
nation in the world. No other sys
tem in any country, at any time,
by any other means has ever pro
duced so much for so many at such
little cost as our 'capitalist' busi
ness does in America.”
The company says frankly that it
made money in 1946—about seven
and one-half cents on every dol
lar's worth of products sold. While
this record is termed a narrow mar
gin that calls for economy all alortg
the line, the report makes it plain
that the company expects to keep
on making money. All this, midst
healthy competitors that cause them
to keep putting out better products
for less money. Tribute is paid to
the keen competition they meet as
an effective price regulator.
“ A company that can’t make
money is like a ship that can't float.
Neither is safe for you and your
family. A company may lose money
for a short time, just as a ship may
spring a leak and take in water for
a short time, but if the losses and
the leak can't be stopped soon, the
ship sinks and the company goes out
of business. Passengers on the ship
that sinks and employees of the com
pany that fails are victims of disas
ter.”
